Elder KaRan Blackwell, Sr. and Elder Japhetia “Fettie” Blackwell are true leaders after God's own heart. Their lives reflect a deep commitment to prayer, integrity, and the call to serve God’s people with compassion and conviction.

For over a decade, they have faithfully led the 7 a.m. Prayerline and the Bethesda Tabernacle ministry—covering countless individuals in prayer, standing in the gap for families, and teaching the uncompromised Word of God. Their leadership is marked by humility, wisdom, and a consistent pursuit of God’s presence.

They do not just teach faith—they live it. They do not just talk about prayer—they model it.

And they do not just lead people—they lift them.

Through every call, every word, and every gathering, they remain committed to God’s will and to the spiritual growth of those they serve.
